[whatwg/dom] State of SharedWorker? (#487)

Missing browser support:
* [Webkit](feature-shared-web-workers) had an implementation that was removed fairly quickly. Looking through their bug tracker, there's a [single untouched issue](https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149850) about reinstating support. 
* [Edge](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/status/sharedwebworkers/?q=Shared%20Web%20Workers) status says it's not currently planned.
* [caniuse](http://caniuse.com/#feat=sharedworkers) shows it's not supported on android.

There's a [previous issue](https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/315) discussing deprecating SharedWorker, but it's currently locked. Since it took place two years ago, I thought it worth asking if anything has changed since then? I'd love to see it on every browser, but it's not looking very likely. ServiceWorker appears to have more attention and developer interest, and there seems to be some overlap in functionality.
